Oh, I knew about this guy, and I don't think he's particularly usefull. His stats and effect leave a lot to be desired. If I have 2 lvl 3 X-Sabers on on the field, odds are I can symchro summon something better. Also, lvl 4 X-sabers that I could bring are Boggart and maybe garsem, out of wich, only garsem could prove useful after being destroyed. (Don't have a warrior or B-warrior thats not an X-Saber in the deck)

I dunno... Its not a bad monster, but I don't think X-Sabers need him for anything...

Maybe I could swap 1 hyunlei and test him out, I guess...

Speaking of illegal cards~

Who else shat themselves when Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning was finally un-banned?

I jumped out of joy! Not that I can use him, but I think its a card thats perfect at 1. He's just too awesome to not to be used. Now, if we could get Brionac banned...

I just play Magic the Gathering. My avatar was Sorin Markov, vampire Planeswalker and bloodlord of the Markov Clan of Innistrad.


He also made an angel just for a sex toy/bride/protector of humans :/

But damn, does he have fine taste in women or what? LOL

Quit playing (Yu-Gi-Oh) 3 or 4 years ago, but my decks are still intact back home. I actually ended up buying some cards online a few months back, just for memories and stuff.

I was fond of beatdown decks as I recall.

I used to play Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon TCG, but stopped for various reasons. I still play online now and again, not often though.
I would sort of like to get back into them, but it's a fairly expensive hobby, and I don't know any where to play them. Aah well.

Look up a gaming shop in your city/town. I bet you could find one.

I used to collect Magic cards, but I never got into the game.

One of my current professors did some illustrations for them though.
Server Error - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering[%22Tristan%20Elwell%22]

I gave away all my Yu-Gi-Oh cards, like an idiot... I'mw anting to get back into the hobby but the decks have -of course- shot up in price which might make deck construction a bit more annoying than it needs to be. Until then, I shall mess around on free online duelling sites to get back into the game...

Wow divine wrath on peoples XYZ cards sure does cause a lot of rage quits...

Are people really using Xyz monsters that much? I mean, I know they're the next thing, but I always believed they would never replace Synchros-not even close.

That said, I hate and like them. I expected decks like Crystal beasts to return because there is now a way for them to SS something without adding something to the main deck.
But I hate their stats and effects (For the most part. Few of them really kick butt.)

Unfortunately, Tour Guide of the Underworld and Rescue Rabbit pretty much say, HEY! HERE'S A FREE OVERPOWERED MONSTER FROM YOUR EXTRA DECK AT ALMOST NO COST! a lot like rescue cat did with Synchros, but rescue cat wasn't made with Synchros in mind, where as tour guide and rabbit were made so it takes no skill at the game to summon XYZs

Pinkie Pie actually plays Magic because of stuff like this. Though Magic introduces new mechanics, it's still very much possible to build powerful decks out of centered around old playstyles.

It's not actually that bad. You can still win with older decks if you go in prepared, and have a few extra traps. Like I was saying before, if you stop them cold they normally have no other options and quit on the spot. Although I have to admit the newer mechanics are becoming over powered.

But I thought Rescue Cat was banned, last time I checked?

But with Xyz monsters. TBH I don't know what they decided to make a new type of monster. In terms of the creation of Synchros I can understand since it was first time they created a new type of Monster since Union(Or was it Spirit? I can't remember which came first) and this time around I don't get the idea behind them.

I remember some of my other friends saying that some Synchro monsters could be game-breaking and in with some cards like Red Nova Dragon, I can see how, but Xyz monsters just seem weird...

Yes, rescue cat got banned. We, X-Saber players abused of the poor kitty like there was no tomorrow. Hopefully, the same will hapenn to Rabbit, Reborn should be semi along with tour guide.

I heard rumors that the reason they created Xyz was to fight the competition. A new card game appeared called Vanguard (Complete with an anime, hence why they made Zexal.). Do you know how you summon monsters in that game? By stacking them on top of each other! And how do you use their effects? One way involves... sending the cards stacked under your monster to the grave! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!!!

Remind how what made Rescue Cat bad again? I never dueled with Beast types.

And that just causes players to be aggravated because of the tired "Oh they're just copying off of us" argument~

Ironically, I remember Takahashi saying GX was gonna be the last season of the show, then he said the same about 5Ds~

Rescue Cat really had nothing to do with beast decks (except if you were using him to get out Test Tiger in GB decks) because it was pretty splashable in any deck before it was banned.

Anyway, it was banned because it could be used really easily in conjunction with Summoner Monk and Airbellum to get out two lv 7 synchros (one of which was usually DSF) for an OTK.

Thought this summed up my reaction to the banlist quite well.

Seems like they have a knack for banning or limiting cards some people like using~
